Replace Gold Iridium with Prizm

[razter]

Need help choosing new lenses. Currently have Gold Iridium (12% VLT), which are used for all sports (tennis, running, biking, etc). Been wearing these for years and love them, but I need new glasses and I would like to get a Prizm lens. Eyes have light sensitivity, so although I liked the road, they let in too much light for me. Also thinking of a Polarized lens, although it doesn't have to be. Suggestions please.

Just be aware that sometimes the prizm lenses can make it difficult to see mobile phone screens, especially if you have replaced the screen with aftermarket screens (they seem to be worse!!).

Thank You. I will check that out too.

For which glasses?

Availability varies depending on the frame.

For Prizm?
I know with polarized yes (which would translate to Prizm polarized as well) but for pure Prizm only lenses I haven't seen any issues with screens "washing out".

Quarter Jacket

Quarter Jacket

Limited availability for those.
DWP would be a good choice (polarized, good looks, lowish VLT)
Other options may be:
Prizm Black
Fire Polarized

My bad. I thought all Prizm lenses were polarised. I had problems with the DWP.

Being that your current lenses are bronze base I'd probably go with Fire polarized. It's a amber based lens which will be very similar to your gold iridium. Its also about 10% drop it should be low enough for your eyes.

Although that does sound good, I wouldn't want them darker than what I already have and they would be, correct?
